[cod] Multiple COD:UO servers on the same box

I would rather use screen than nohup. preventing oneself from getting
access to the console is something at least I wouldnt recommend.

screen -dmS ./cod_lnxded +set net_ip xxx +set net_port xxx +set
sv_punkbuster 1 +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg

screen -list

screen -r PID

Just my 2 cents, and rather than sym-links, try hardlinks for all the
pk3 files, and create actual copies of the binaries to each instance
rather than sym-linking.  Or you can chmod the main binary so that
each execution of it will start itself in its own memory space and not
clobber other games running the same binary in the same memory space.
